Looking for recommendations for a new one. I've put in some time on internet review sites and most of the positive reviews seem contrived and planted. Need it for an 800 sq ft unfinished basement. Energy efficiency and performance are more important to me than noise.

I got a perfectly serviceable one at Farm & Fleet a few years ago. I left it in the old house when I sold, so I can't tell you the make. It was made in Asia, but perhaps they all are. White plastic, about 2 1/2 feet tall, etc etc.

I know you have all been waiting with bated breath, to hear an update in my battle with below-grade moisture. Well here it is..

I BOUGHT A KENMORE!

Yes, a wonderful white Kenmore, made by LG in some filth-belching factory in Shenzhen China. I'm so looking forward to 16-18 months of dependable service before the $200 control board shorts out and it joins that mountain of other chinese "goods" over at the local landfill.

Thank you Sno, Hank, and RM for being the only folks to take a break from the recall talk to respond to my query.

If I had titled the thread "What kind of dehumidifier does scott walker have?" we would probably be on page 10 by now.
